Hello, I'm using drbd 8.4.11 on a two node cluster on top of centos 7. Both servers have the same hardware configuration: same cpu, ram, disks,...More precisely there is a Megaraid lsi SAS 9361-8i with a raid5 volume. CacheCade is enabled for both controllers and I have a raid0 volume with 4x256GB

Hi Robert, I think the problem is related to the fact that there is a (LVM) partition on top of the drbd device. I tried different configurations and if I use a raw device for the drbd resource and then I use the drbd device without partitions as a PV the problem disappear. Anyway, I dont know if t

Hi Yannis, thank you for your answer. I don't think that the first "partition" is where drbd stores metadata for two reasons: 1) I'm using internal metadata and, as suggested by the drbd documentation: "Configuring a resource to use internal meta data means that DRBD stores its meta data on the sam
